The Oniru of Iru Land, Oba Abdulwasiu Lawal Abisogun II, has alerted residents of Lekki to plans to attack the area by commercial motorcyclists popularly known as okada riders.
The caution was contained in a circular issued on Wednesday, titled, ‘Urgent security alert’, and signed by the Oniru Chieftancy Family Estate Office.
The warning is coming hours after the Lagos State Governor banned Okada operations in Lekki and other areas in the state.
According to report, the operatives of the Lagos State Taskforce raided the area after a sound engineer, David Imoh, was allegedly murdered over N100 balance.
The monarch advised residents not to panic but caution them to be security conscious.
The statement read, “Intelligence report reaching us is that following the raid on Okada riders and seizure of their bikes in Lekki Phase 1, the riders believed the action was instigated by Lekki residents who are determined to take away their source of livelihood.
“To this end, there are plans to invade inner streets to cause havoc anytime from now in Lekki.
